Moonrise from 45,000 feet

Blog post: blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/12/19/lunar-...]

Skeptic Billy Derbyshire took this picture from the cockpit of a Gulfstream II business jet from about 45,000 feet, about 300 nautical miles west of Bermuda.

Note the shadows of the clouds stretching to the East, toward the Moon. Beautiful!
